2. General

The HERMetic DIP Type 2 GT is designed for checking that the bottom of closed and inerted tanks is dry and free of deposits after crude oil washing. It consists of a graduated brass/stainless steel weight attached to a graduated stainless steel tape wound up on reel and an adapter for connecting a HERMetic valve. The operation is carried out under closed condition with no vapour escape into the atmosphere. The HERMetic DIP Type 2 GT can also be used for estimating the distance between the bottom of the tank and the zero reference level of the tank. The tape is of combined type, i.e. showing on the same side the metric and inch scales. The accuracy of the tape is of class II (according to OIML recommendation n° 35), i.e. +/- 6 mm over 30 meters (approx. +/- 1/4" over 100 ft). The tip end of the dipping rod corresponds to the zero of the tape.

7. Operation

1. Install the HERMetic DIP2 GT on the HERMetic valve via the quick coupling device.

2. Open the valve.

3. Lower the dipping rod into the tank down to reaching the bottom. Looking to the tape graduation and feeling the weight dropping off the hand line will allow the operator to evaluate when the level indicating rod is reaching the tank bottom.

4. Once the rod is touching the bottom of the tank, the presence of deposits can be determined by releasing slightly more tape.

5. If the dip remains in the vertical position, that means it has penetrated deposits.

6. If it lays on the side, no deposits are present, providing they are not too hard for the dip to penetrate in or not too soft for the dip to remain standing up.

7. Once the rod has reached the bottom of the tank the distance between the bottom and the middle of the window of the DIP can be determined.

8. After this check rewind the dipping rod into its storage tube.

9. Close the valve.

10. Disconnect the DIP2 GT.

11. Clean the DIP 2 GT before the next check to avoid contamination.

8. Maintenance

8.1 General Care & Considerations

For long service life, maintain the HERMetic DIP 2 GT clean and well lubricated and, when not in use, store it in a dry and protected location. The spring loaded coupling and mating Valve quick-connect nipple must be kept free of corrosion. If grease is used for this purpose, it must be one which contains graphite. Check periodically whether all the sealings are still OK. Check the tape wiper for wear. Check periodically the tape for kinks. When ordering spare parts, always state the drawing and the item number. Equipment does not contain any dangerous materials inside which can harm the environment and people health during normal use or disposal. However the utilization and recycling of the equipment after the end of its life must be implemented by an authorized organization in accordance to local legislation. Do not throw in rubbish but recycle wastes in accordance to environmental / local rules.
